Anyone know where to get a thirdparty solo loop with same measurements Apple ?

As the title says, the ones I have found on Aliexpress is a lot slimmer and I would really like to have one that is a tad wider.
The OEM Apple band I have lasted about three months before showing wear, hence the silicon turns shiny, and I don`t wont to pay another 50$ for a band that wont last longer than a couple of months.

See picture for comparison between third party and OEM. The white is third party and slimmer.

If you're the type to nitpick a couple MMs on width then maybe 3rd party isnt for you. Otherwise, they are cheap on amazon and you can return them if you're not satisfied

Not sure if looking for a copy is nitpicking, but hey thanks, that was very helpful.

Maybe nitpick wasn't the right word.

But its just like car parts. 3rd party aftermarket parts are much more affordable but will rarely ever have the fit and finish of OEM parts. So its a trade off for the price point.

Ordered and received from Amazon the Rain Gold Stretchy Solo Loop. Fits almost exactly to Apple's sizes. Apple measured me a 5 but said a 4 would fit a bit more snug. So I ordered Wine Red and Deep Navy in size 4 for my series 4 watch (44mm). So far very comfortable and looks great. I would stay away from those sellers that only have S/M/L sizes because its hit or miss.

Hey thanks! Do you have an original solo loop by any chance and are able to compare the width of that with the rain gold stretchy ?
